Halo Infinite: Top Plays From The Multiplayer Beta

The latest Halo Infinite multiplayer beta test took place over the weekend, giving fans a chance to try out the 4v4 Arena Slayer and objective-based modes. Despite a lack of familiarity with the game, beta players pulled off some incredible plays and discovered some new elements of the game. We're rounding up some of the top highlights that we came across from the beta, and we'll add more to this story as we find them. If you missed out on this past weekend's beta test, you'll have another chance, as the next beta will take place this coming weekend, and it'll feature Big Team Battle. Grappleshot CTF One of Halo Infinite's most ambitious new features is its Grappleshot, which players can use to zip around the map faster than ever before and in new ways. The Grappleshot can also be used to grab the flag during Capture the Flag matches, and it looks very OP, at least in this one example. Twitter user NorwenSLG shared a clip of this in action, with the player grabbing the flag with their Grappleshot and catapulting it across the entire map for what should be an easy score. "This can't stay in the game," the user wrote.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Extreme Rules 2021 Results: Live Updates, Match Card, And Surprises

Things are looking to get extreme this evening, as WWE's Extreme Rules PPV is coming to your house. This year's installment is taking place at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. As the PPV airs on Peacock, you can check out our live results for all the matches as the event airs below. Extreme Rules could mark the day that the Bloodline loses all of their titles. The Usos will face The Street Profits for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship and Roman Reigns will face "The Demon" Finn Bálor for the Universal Championship. Could this mean the end of Reigns being "the head of the table?" Extreme Rules will also mark the rematch between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women's Championship. At Summerslam, Lynch made her surprise return to WWE and squashed Belair for the title after a cheap shot. Hopefully, this rematch offers a bit more for the audience, as both these women are exceptional wrestlers. If you're looking to join in on the fun for Extreme Rules, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock--or WWE Network if you live outside of the US. There is a free tier for Peacock; however, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock Premium ($5 a month) or Peacock Premium Plus ($10 a month) in order to live stream the PPV. The difference between the two is that Premium Plus is not ad-supported. However, both tiers of Peacock play the same stream of WWE's Extreme Rules.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Ozark Season 4 First Look: The Final Season Hits Netflix In 2022

Netflix has finally offered a first look at the highly-anticipated Season 4 of Ozark, the high-octane crime drama. Netflix revealed this clip as part of Tudum, its streaming virtual fan event. With Seasons 1-3, the Netflix original series consisted of 10 episodes per season. This final season will be expanded compared to previous installments, consisting of four more episodes than previously expected. Season 4 will also be split into two parts, with each one consisting of seven episodes. Unfortunately, that--plus the pandemic--has meant a whole lot of waiting for fans to see what's in store for this 14-episode final season. Finally, during Tudum, we now see for ourselves that the wait was more than worth it. Star Jason Bateman confirmed, before introducing a clip that's a "little strange," that they are currently filming the final season and it will hit Netflix sometime in 2022. In the sneak peek clip, Marty (Jason Bateman) and Wendy (Laura Linney) are cleaning blood out of their hair in a mysterious mansion, implying that even more bodies are going to fall in the super-sized final season. Ozark follows the Byrde family from the Chicago suburbs to Missouri, where they go to set up a money laundering operation after another scheme with a Mexican drug cartel goes wrong. However, upon setting up in the Lake of the Ozarks region, the family finds themselves dealing with local criminals. The series stars Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Julia Garner, and others.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Stranger Things Season 4 Trailer Takes Us Into Creel House

It's been so long since Stranger Things Season 3 arrived in the summer of 2019. Now, after over two years, we finally have the first trailer for Season 4 of the Netflix original series thanks to the streaming service's Tudum event. You might remember that at the end of Stranger Things Season 3, Hopper (David Harbour) looked to be stuck in a Russian prison where the Demogorgon was also being held captive. Meanwhile, Eleven (Millie Bobbie Brown) was rendered powerless and moved away from Hawkins with the Byers family. Now, Stranger Things is picking up those story threads and introducing a sinister new character in Victor Creel (Robert Englund). It was revealed on the official Stranger Things Twitter account that the new character has been locked in a psychiatric hospital since committing a gruesome crime in the 1950s. Based on the quick look, it seems he killed his family, though the Upside Down may be involved if the flickering lights are any hint. You can see the first look at Creel in action, along with a very important tease about Season 4, below. We dare you to be upset about Dustin and Steve's friendship still being a focal point of the series in Season 4.Continue Reading at GameSpot

First Look Red Notice Clip Shows Gal Gadot Beating The Snot Out Of Dwayne Johnson And Ryan Reynolds

Netflix's Tudum event has officially kicked off and brought with it a first look at a brand new, upcoming heist movie: Red Notice, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. Dwayne Johnson himself took over the Tudum stream to share a scene, calling Red Notice "Netflix's biggest movie, ever." Take a look at the sneak peak now. In the movie, Johnson plays an FBI profiler on the hunt for the world's greatest art thief (Gadot), with the help of "the greatest conman the world has never seen," played by Reynolds. He equated the movie to the action-adventure movies we grew up with and the scene--featuring all three lead characters getting into a brawl in the middle of a dramatically lit art gallery--certainly seems to back-up his claims. Of course, the fight gets progressively more absurd and eventually begins incorporating the museum artefacts themselves and ends with Gadot putting an end to things by handcuffing Reynolds and Johnson together.Continue Reading at GameSpot

20 Years Ago Today, Silent Hill 2 Gave Us The Best Video Game Ending Ever

Silent Hill 2 is often regarded as the pinnacle of the horror genre, going head-to-head with some of the best Resident Evil games for the crown. However, no Resident Evil game can compare to Silent Hill 2 when it comes to endings--or at least one secret ending that has stood the test of time over the last 20 years. In fact, today is its 20-year anniversary. We are, of course, talking about the "Dog" ending, which can only be seen after finishing multiple other endings for Silent Hill 2 and finding a key that is, appropriately enough, in a doghouse. Finishing the game this way seems to imply that the entirety of the events have been orchestrated by a Shiba Inu dog. After revealing this shocking secret, the credits roll, with the music backed by the percussive beat of a dog's bark. More than that, though, the ending also includes a slideshow of sorts that seems to imply the developers knew how cheesy some aspects of the "actual" game were--and we don't just mean because there is a spinning pizza. It then gets weirdly sensual for about two seconds before the credits end.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Where Is Xur Today? (Sept. 24-28) - Destiny 2 Xur Location And Exotics Guide

The Agent of the Nine is back in the solar system for another weekend, with a whole new crop of weapons, armor, and Legendaries for you to peruse. Here's where you can find Xur this weekend and what Exotics he's selling.

Disco Elysium Releases On Nintendo Switch October 12

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut arrives on Nintendo Switch on October 22, Nintendo announced during today's Nintendo Direct. At launch, the game will only be available to purchase digitally on the eShop. A physical edition for Switch is slated to launch in early 2022.

Following its PC-only release, the game was ported to PS4, PS5, and Stadia earlier this year alongside the launch of The Final Cut, an expanded version of the game. This added full voice acting, among other new content.

New Kirby Game Leaks Ahead Of Nintendo Direct Along With Other Announcements

Like a sinking ship, Nintendo's recent Direct events have been leaking all over the place. That includes today's Direct, which was announced just yesterday. However, instead of outside sources releasing information about today's announcements early, the leak came from Nintendo itself, with the company's Japanese release schedule site listing a new Kirby game along with other long-awaited titles, including Bayonetta 3. The Kirby title, which translates to Kirby Discovery of the Stars, is set to release in Spring 2022 according to the site. Just below Kirby, the release schedule shows that Bayonetta 3 is also set to launch next year, although a more specific timeframe isn't given. Also coming next year are Splatoon 3, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. While the three games are shown on the release site, specific release dates are not mentioned. While the release windows for Kirby Discovery of the Stars and Bayonetta 3 have leaked before today's Nintendo Direct, there's no guarantee that either will make an appearance today. In a tweet announcing the showcase, Nintendo stated that it would focus "mainly on Nintendo Switch games launching this Winter." That being said, the upcoming Kirby title could easily be saved for a surprise at the end of the showcase.Continue Reading at GameSpot

It's Original Director Reveals Why He Quit The Movie

Cary Joji Fukunaga was lined up to direct It, the killer clown movie based on Stephen King's book. However, he left the project three weeks before production was set to begin, with Andy Muschietti coming aboard to direct, and now Fukunaga has shed some additional light on what happened. Fukunaga told The Hollywood Reporter that he spent four or five years working with Warner Bros. on It, and he also wrote the script. But when the project moved to New Line, right before production was set to begin, Fukunaga walked away over creative differences. "I think New Line's view of what they wanted and my view of what I wanted were very different. I wanted to do a drama with horror elements, more like The Shining," he said. "I think they wanted to do something more [pure horror] like Annabelle [from the Conjuring films]. That was essentially the disconnect."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Respawn Teases More Titanfall After Reports The Franchise Is On The Backburner

Respawn wants you to know it hasn't given up on Titanfall, despite recent reports to the contrary. Yesterday, news outlets picked up a comment from Respawn community coordinator Jason Garza, who said that the company was working on too many games to focus on Titanfall right now. In response to the reports, the company has tweeted a vague statement that "Titanfall is the very core of our DNA." The initial information came from comments made by Respawn community coordinator Jason Garza in a YouTube livestream, albeit on a channel not associated with the company aside from Garza's employment. When asked by fans about the possibility of a new Titanfall he said: "There's nothing. There's nothing there." Garza did say that Respawn was working on the DDOS attacks plaguing Titanfall 1 and 2, however. After the story was picked up by numerous gaming news outlets, Respawn has released an official, if vague, statement on the matter via its Twitter account.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Diablo 2 Resurrected Tips: What You Should Know Before Playing

Diablo 2: Resurrected brings back the classic action-RPG for modern platforms, and while it's gotten a visual overhaul and some other quality-of-life improvements, it's a largely faithful remake of a two-decade-old game. As such, you can expect it to generally be less friendly to players than Diablo 3--if that's your only exposure to the series thus far, prepare for Resurrected to tell you a whole lot less, kick your teeth in, and then make you walk--not run--away because you've run out of stamina. Fortunately, this being largely faithful means there are plenty of existing resources to help guide you through the many complex elements of Diablo 2, be it the complexities of the Horadric Cube, Runewords, or character builds. Here, we're taking a look at some essential tips that will help ease you into the world of Diablo 2 based on our experience with the original game and Resurrected's beta--it should be useful whether you're a first-time player or someone who just hasn't picked up the game in years and forgot all about the joys of Scrolls of Identify, Baal runs, and those damn cows.Table of Contents [hide] * Pick a good starter class Pick a good starter class Your first decision upon starting is choosing a class, and unfortunately, the game does about as little as possible to explain what it's like to play as any of them. Aside from a brief description, you're left to make your choice largely based on the look of each class. While you can always roll additional new characters, there's no swapping classes once you make your choice, so any time you sink into a character will be for naught if you decide you'd actually rather play something else. (You can, thankfully, make use of the new shared loot box to move items between characters--no more starting a session, dropping everything you own in town, exiting, and then returning with another character to move items.)Continue Reading at GameSpot

Fortnite Season 8 Betrays The Game's Usually Great Battle Pass, But A Fix Is Coming

Fortnite popularized the now-ubiquitous battle pass and has long been seen as one of the games that gets it right, but Season 8's new challenge and XP system seem to slow progress to a crawl, and Fortnite fans aren't thrilled so far. While the mysterious cubes' migration patterns keep players invested on a story level, players who want to quickly and consistently tier-up in the Season 8 battle pass are finding it harder than usual. Season 8 is a grind so far, and players are waiting for a fix. Check the Fortnite Twitter and Subreddit and you'll see dozens of comments under every post where players are begging for more XP. Some players are calling it the worst XP system Fortnite has ever implemented. I haven't been playing since the earliest days, so I can't speak to the entire timeline, but I agree it's the slowest, grindiest leveling system implemented in Fortnite Chapter 2. The problem with Fortnite's Season 8 XP system is that there aren't enough challenges to chase for the players who dedicate many hours a day to the game. Past seasons have included milestone challenges, which rewarded thousands of XP for players who crossed certain benchmarks throughout the season. These would often revolve around things you'd inevitably do anyway, like recording headshots and eliminations, but also simple things that you might miss if not for the XP on offer, such as lighting campfires or burning down structures.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Xbox Update Lets You Use Your Xbox 360 Gamerpic

Microsoft has launched a new Xbox feature that lets you change your gamerpic to what it was back in the Xbox 360 days. Xbox Insiders who are part of the Alpha Skip Ahead program (which you can opt into at any time) can now select their Xbox 360 gamerpic from the "change gamerpic" screen. This may require a reboot, Xbox's Eden Marie said on Twitter (via Eurogamer). Also of note, it will only work if you had an Xbox 360 back then and had a gamerpic assigned. If, for whatever reason, you change your Xbox 360 gamerpic on that console, this will also apply to your new Xbox. Hey all, I know a bunch of you were asking for a way to go back to your Xbox 360 gamerpic. Exploration Time to the rescue! If you're an Alpha Skip Ahead Insider, you may need to reboot your console, but starting today you'll find a new option in your "change gamerpic" screen. pic.twitter.com/YWijIJR2HE — Eden Marie (@neonepiphany) September 21, 2021 FYI, this will only show up if you've ever had an Xbox 360 gamerpic, and if your current gamerpic isn't already your Xbox 360 gamerpic. Once it's set, any future changes you make on an Xbox 360 console will automatically carry over. — Eden Marie (@neonepiphany) September 21, 2021 This feature comes out of Microsoft's Exploration Time program, through which Xbox employees working on the Experiences team can take a half day each week to work on anything they want.Continue Reading at GameSpot

See Forza Horizon 5's Multiplayer Modes In Action

Forza Horizon 5's dev team introduced and showed the upcoming racing game's different multiplayer modes in the latest Forza Horizon 5: Let’s ¡Go! livestream. The three multiplayer modes are Horizon Arcade, Horizon Tour, and Horizon Open. Horizon Arcade is a collection of minigames and will be marked by pink circles on the map. Players can team up together to find and smash pinatas, hit floating bullseye targets, and partake in Simon Says-esque mini missions. Horizon Tour is a more laidback multiplayer mode, consisting of a series of drives and races on the map. Players can form convoys with friends, or new people, to take on the slower and relaxed multiplayer mode. The devs envision the starting location of the Horizon Tour to be a social hub, a gathering point that allows players to show off their cars and meet other racers.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Family Guy's COVID-19 PSA Encourages Everyone To Get The Vaccine

Seth MacFarlane has revealed a new Family Guy-themed COVID-19 vaccine PSA featuring Stewie and Brian encouraging people to get the vaccine. In the clip, which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show before the full-length video was published later on (see below), Stewie runs through the reasons why it's important to follow CDC guidance and take the vaccine. "The common side effects from the COVID vaccines are generally mild and last a few days. But do you know what can have serious long-term side effects? COVID," Stewie says to Brian, who is playing the skeptic in the video. Then Brian asks Stewie about what people could say to a person--namely, Peter--who doesn't feel the need to get the vaccine if everyone else around them does.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Other jobs' Endwalker upgrades and tweaks are also included in the same video, if you'd like to check out how your main has changed or stayed the same. Reaper Reaper falls under the melee DPS category. Maining a scythe weapon, Reaper players are also accompanied by a shadowy grim reaper-looking avatar. By becoming the vessel for this avatar, reapers can unleash attacks that cause more damage. Reaper has two gauges, one of them being the Soul Gauge. Charging up the Soul Gauge allows reapers to deploy different attacks, including some of the ones available when "possessed" by the avatar. The second gauge, the Shroud Gauge, starts filling up when the reaper uses both their attacks and their avatar's attacks. This gauge will allow you to be possessed by the avatar and utilize special combos.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Halloween Kills Final Trailer Delivers Bloody Kills And Familiar Faces

The final trailer for Halloween Kills has been released. The latest movie in the long-running slasher franchise arrives in theaters and on Peacock on October 15. The new trailer starts with a character we haven't seen since John Carpenter's original movie--Lindsey Wallace, one of the kids that Laurie Strode was babysitting back in 1978. She's still played by Kyle Richards and warns some kids out trick-or-treating to watch out because Michael Myers is on the loose yet again. The rest of the trailer intercuts scenes of bloody violence with Laurie and the rest of Haddonfield getting ready to fight back. There are also two more characters back from the first movie--Nurse Marion Chambers (Nancy Stephens once more) and Tommy Doyle (now played by Anthony Michael Hall). Check the trailer out below: Halloween Kills also stars Judy Greer as Karen and Andi Matichak as Allyson, with Michael played by both James Jude Courtney and original actor Nick Castle. It's directed by David Gordon Green, who also helmed the 2018 Halloween, with a script by Green, Danny McBride, and Scott Teems, and a score by Carpenter.Continue Reading at GameSpot

HBO Max Drops A New Clip Of Peacemaker Series

In a new trailer for its upcoming programming slate, HBO Max has nonchalantly tucked away a few glorious until-now unseen seconds of its Peacemaker series starring John Cena.

This is the first DC Extended Universe television series. Check out this brief new clip to get a very abbreviated taste. Not many details are known about the upcoming series with even Gunn shutting down rumors of a Bane cameo or appearance.

Amazon's Lord Of The Rings TV Series Could Bring Back Howard Shore For The Music

According to a report from Deadline, famed composer Howard Shore--who won three Academy Awards for the music to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films--is in discussions to compose the music for Amazon's Lord of the Rings TV show.

Deadline's report had no additional information about Shore's involvement in Amazon's Lord of the Rings show. Importantly, the report says only that Shore is "in talks" to compose the music; nothing is official or confirmed at this stage.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Neill Blomkamp Calls Denis Villeneuve A "F***ing A**hole" Over MCU Comments

In a recent series of escalating verbal shots being fired, director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) has called director Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2048, Dune: Part One) a "f***ing a**hole" for the latter's apparent harsh criticism over the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Villeneuve, whose long-delayed sweeping sci-fi epic Dune: Part One will finally hit theaters on October 22, recently spoke for an interview with the Spanish publication El Mundo. When asked why big-budget movies are still relevant, the director apparently--according to translated text reported by other publications--said, "The problem is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a 'cut and paste' of others… Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit… But big and expensive movies of great value there are many today. I don’t feel capable of being pessimistic at all." What a fucking asshole https://t.co/vXH13aIAA1 — Neill Blomkamp (@NeillBlomkamp) September 16, 2021 You can read Blomkamp's thoughts in the tweet above, though again it does bear repeating that the circulating English translations may have been computer-generated and many not quite capture the intended spirit, wording, or sentiment of Villeneuve's thoughts. However, Villeneuve had also recently spoke dismissively of Marvel movies with the French outlet Premiere, saying, "These films are made from the same mold. Some filmmakers can add a little color to it, but they’re all cast in the same factory. It doesn't take anything away from the movies, but they are formatted." Again, it is entirely possible that something may have been lost in translation.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Review Roundup For Lost Judgment

After releasing Yakuza: Like a Dragon last year, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios is back with another trip to Yokohama in the form of Lost Judgment. A sequel to 2018's Judgment, the legal suspense game stars detective Takayuki Yagami once again as he finds himself caught up in the middle of a murder mystery. Ahead of its release on September 24, reviews have gone live for the game from several outlets, with most writers praising Lost Judgment's lengthy story, gameplay improvements, and brutally effective combat. While the sequel is an improvement when compared to the original, it has been noted that it doesn't venture far enough into the elements that make it stand apart from the regular Yakuza series of games.Continue Reading at GameSpot

NVIDIA's CEO Has Made It On To Time's 100 Most Influential People List

Time Magazine has released its 100 Most Influential People List for the year, featuring the likes of Simone Biles, Britney Spears, and crypto pioneer Vitalik Buterin. Among their number is Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA--one of only three tech CEOs included in this year's list, alongside Elon Musk and Tim Cook. While NVIDIA is a well-known brand in the gaming industry, with the company's newest Ampere line of graphics cards still highly coveted and near impossible to obtain, Huang is included in the Time list for the company's work enabling AI through neural networks. "The software that enables computers to do things that once required human perception and judgment depends largely on hardware made possible by Jensen Huang," reads the Time profile written by DeepLearning.AI founder Andrew Ng. "With still emerging AI technologies creating an insatiable hunger for more computation, Huang's team is well-positioned to keep driving technological advances for decades to come."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Rocksmith+ Delayed To 2022, As Ubisoft Details Feedback From The Beta

Ubisoft's new guitar game, Rocksmith+, has been delayed to next year. The publisher has confirmed that the game will now launch at some undetermined point in 2022. "We've mapped out the work we'd like to prioritize following your feedback and decided to push the release of Rocksmith+ to 2022," Ubisoft said in a blog post. "We understand that this delay is disappointing. Our decision stems from a commitment to quality first, and a desire to meet the high expectations of our community and ourselves. Every Rocksmith+ player deserves to easily find the music you care about, to feel a sense of growth and mastery over your instrument, and to trust that the notes you play are heard fairly and accurately." Rocksmith+ is designed as a live service game that gets new updates constantly, and this requires the studio to "think long term," Ubisoft said. The studio said it is mindful of the work-life balance for its employees, too. "A healthy team means a healthy product built to last for many years to come. Thank you all for your patience and for your understanding while we put in the extra time," Ubisoft said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Announced, Have Big Improvements For Games

Apple has announced its latest iPhone, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro. If you've been paying attention to smartphone upgrades, you'll probably have guessed that all the new features are small--the cameras are better, there's some neat new software tricks, and the screen is slightly brighter. The iPhone 13 is no different, even with its new A15 chip. But it's this chip that could be a big deal for mobile gaming. With huge games like Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Genshin Impact, and more, mobile gaming requires more power than ever before. Couple this with advancements in game engines, such as Fortnite moving to Unreal Engine 5, and it's simple to understand that smartphones will need to keep up. Apple's silicon has been ahead of the competition for years now, but the A15 makes a big deal about being better for gaming. In the iPhone 13, the A15 chip features a 4-core GPU for accelerated gaming performance, with Apple claiming that you can expect up to 30% faster performance in games. The iPhone 13 Pro is a step further, with a 5-core GPU letting you take advantage of the phone's 120Hz True Motion display. Both models feature OLED panels, just like last year, so you don't have to go all in with the Pro for the best-looking display, but that extra horsepower might be useful if you really need all the performance you can get.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Call Of Duty 2022 Is A Modern Warfare Sequel About Colombian Drug Cartels - Report

Call of Duty fans are gearing up for the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard and the new Warzone Pacific map this year, but what's coming next? Insider Tom Henderson reported that Call of Duty 2022 is codenamed Project Cortez, and it will be a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare. Like that game, it'll be developed by Infinity Ward, it seems. VGC's own sources back up Henderson's report. The Modern Warfare sequel's story mode will follow US soldiers going to war against Colombian drug cartels, according to the report. The Project Cortez codename may be a reference to the villain, Felix Cortez, from the 1994 Harrison Ford film Clear and Present Danger. It looks like Call of Duty: 2022 is codenamed Project Cortez It's expected to be a sequel to Modern Warfare 2019. — Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) September 13, 2021 Given the usual three-year studio rotation, 2022 would be Infinity Ward's turn to take the reins, following Treyarch's leading effort on Black Ops Cold War and Sledgehammer for Vanguard. Infinity Ward making a sequel to 2019's massively successful Modern Warfare reboot would be no surprise. Not only was the game a huge commercial success, but it ended with a very blatant set-up for the next Modern Warfare story.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Halo Dev Reminds Fans That CG Trailers Are Often Used First And Foremost To Recruit Staff

They're a common feature at most big gaming events: flashy, hype-building trailer reveals for games that are still years away from being released, most often featuring little to no actual gameplay. While these kinds of trailers often draw criticism from gamers for advertising a product that doesn't exist, it turns out these reveals serve another purpose--as a recruitment tool to attract talented developers to the projects. This titbit of industry information was tweeted by David Ellis, a developer on a game that faced this exact situation when it was announced three years ago--Halo Infinite. Rather than showing off actual gameplay, Halo Infinite was announced at E3 2018 with a video that Microsoft described as a "thrilling engine demo." I wonder how many people realize early (often CG) game announcements are sometimes more about recruiting people to work on the game then promoting the game itself. — David "Over Yonder" Ellis (@DavidEllis) September 12, 2021 Last year we saw similar announcements for big Microsoft titles Fable 4 and the Perfect Dark reboot. As Microsoft's gaming strategy increasingly pivots towards Xbox Game Pass over individual game sales, it's unlikely that these early trailers are designed to push pre-sales, meaning it's more likely to be part of a recruiting strategy.Continue Reading at GameSpot

2021 GOTY Contender Deathloop Is A PS5 Game From An Xbox-Owned Studio, And That's Weird

Dishonored developer Arkane's new game, Deathloop, is out tomorrow and it's getting great reviews (it received a rare 10/10 in GameSpot's review), with many saying it's a legitimate contender for overall Game of the Year. Its release is notable not only for its gameplay qualities and mastery of what it's setting out to do, but also for what is going on behind the scenes. Arkane is now owned by Microsoft as part of the Xbox company's $7.5 billion buyout of Bethesda/Zenimax. Microsoft is honoring previously set publishing contracts, so Deathloop will be aPlayStation 5 console exclusive until at least September 2022 because Bethesda and Sony had a deal before Xbox swooped in. This makes for a strange situation, even if it's not completely unexpected--and it's not necessarily all bad news for Microsoft and Xbox. While one of 2021's best games won't be available on Xbox, Microsoft isn't totally missing out. The fact that Deathloop is a very good game benefits Microsoft in the long run. It strengthens the prestige of developer Arkane, which was already regarded as a top-tier studio thanks to the Dishonored series. Future games from Arkane will come to Xbox--presumably as console exclusives--including the developer's exciting-sounding new shooter Redfall.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Former Boss At Payday Studio Starbreeze Acquitted Over Insider Trading Charges

In 2018, Payday publisher Starbreeze's office was raided, with officials seizing documents and computers over suspicions of insider trading. Former chief financial officer Sebastian Ahlskog was convicted in 2020 for insider trading. Now, he has been acquitted of all charges. GI.biz reports that Ahlskog was acquitted back on June 11, and the prosecution had until September 7 to appeal--but it did not do that. Additionally, the report said Ahlskog no longer needs to pay money to the "crime victims fund" after it was originally reported he was fined SEK 40,000. "The Court of Appeal does not believe Ahlskog had insider information that Starbreeze would fail to find external funding as it faced insolvency. At the time he sold his shares, the company was still in discussions with banks and other parties," GI.biz reported.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Fortnite Season 8 - New Weapons, Vaulted Weapons, And Unvaulted Weapons

Fortnite Season 8 has arrived. Although this means the war against the aliens has ended, the war against the cubes, however, has just begun.

In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you can expect to find in terms of weapons and gadgets scattered across the island as loot. Fortnite Season 8 Sideways Weapons If you read our Fortnite Season 8 map changes guide, you already know about The Sideways, an alternate dimension full of Cube Monsters and featuring a post-apocalyptic aesthetic that captures just how destructive Operation: Sky Fire was in the end. As it turns out, you won't just face greater threats in The Sideways, you'll also fight for greater rewards. Two unique Sideways Weapons will be found exclusively in this off-island realm for those who can manage to escape with them in hand.These two new weapons can only be found in the hellish Sideways world. The Sideways Rifle and Sideways Minigun are two brand-new weapons loopers can find in The Sideways, and these weapons can be buffed even further by defeating monsters and picking up Cube Monster Parts. Using the crafting menu first introduced in Season 5, you'll be able to improve these two Sideways weapons with these new crafting materials. These weapons also do more damage when they're nearly overheated, so to get the best DPS out of them, you'll want to charge them up.Continue Reading at GameSpot

What's In The Fortnite Season 8 Battle Pass

Fortnite Season 8 and the Fortnite Season 8 battle pass have arrived after 14 weeks of an alien invasion. There's no rest for the weary as, following their battle with The Last Reality, Fortnite loopers will now have to defend the island from the cubes which have forcibly taken dominion over the island. If you're wondering what's in the Fortnite Season 8 battle pass, we'll be breaking down character by character. Starting from the left of the battle pass lineup image below, the characters are: * Kor * Toona Fish * Marvel's Carnage * Torin * Fabio Sparklemane * J.B. Chimpanski * Charlotte The Fortnite Season 8 battle pass features another fully customizable character. Out of the gate, the most story-relevant character may prove to be J.B. Chimpanski. As Doctor Slone left loopers for dead during Operation: Sky Fire, Chimpanski has assumed the role of leader of the new war effort. The cubes are everywhere, leaving vast portions of the island looking like a battlefield, but Chimpanski plans to rally the troops and save the island. Hopefully loopers can trust him more than they could Slone in the end.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Epic Appeals Ruling In Fortnite iOS Case

As suspected, Fortnite developer Epic Games filed an appeal over the court's recent judgment in the high-profile Epic-Apple lawsuit in which Epic lost on nine out of ten counts. As part of the case, Epic was ordered to pay millions of due to Epic's violation of store agreements. Over the case of the lengthy legal proceedings, Epic maintained that Apple represented a monopoly because it only allows its own store and payment system for in-game purchases. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers concluded in the ruling that Epic could not prove that Apple was engaging in monopolistic behavior under federal or state anti-trust laws, but that "the trial did show that Apple is engaging in anti-competitive conduct under California's competition laws." The official appeal document (via The Verge) does not include specifics about the appeal, so we'll have to wait to learn more. Attorney Richard Hoeg told GameSpot that appeals from both sides were expected.Continue Reading at GameSpot
